Figure 2. Implicit contexts of clearly valenced facial expressions modulate valence interpretations of surprised faces in a congruent fashion.

(a) Surprised faces are rated as more positive in blocks of happy faces, and as more negative in blocks of angry faces, as compared to the mean bias score across participants (represented by the dashed line). (b) There was no difference in reaction times between angry and happy faces, and between surprised faces presented in each context.
